rescue of the sailor named Vincent,
who is the only survivor Of the whaling
bark Napoleon" lost in the Arctic
seas three years ago. The rescue OF
Vincent was effected by the United
States Revenue ship "Bear," as re-
lated in former dispatches, in an In
dian village near Navarian. Vincent
was in a deplorable condition when
rescued. The miserable Indian cloth
ing which partially covered him was
tied upon his body in order to keep it
from falling off, and his head was
shaved in the Indian style. When
properly clothed and nourished the
unfortunate man was able to give a
history of
HIS TERRIBLE SUFFERINGs.
When the whaling bark Napoleon"
Of which he was n OF the crew, was

and another going together. Each of
these boats contained nine men, who
were sometimes on the ice and some
times in the boats. For many days
during this time their food consisted
of two small captured seals and the
leather of their boots. The weather
was bitterly cold, and their hands,
feet, ears and noses became frozen and
dropped off. When the boats finally

men composing their crews remained.

able to walk. Two of the men who
landed died shortly after going ashore,
and the natives reported that of these
two men, the one surviving longest

alone remained. The two latter sue
cumbed to death the first Winter and
Vincent was left among the natives.
He had lived with the Indians for two
years and a half and, when at last re-
covered by Captain Healy, he was a
most pitiable specimen of humanity.
